Review: Bull

This conversation is over. A scene from Bull.

Despite its somewhat unique premise, Bull follows the procedural blueprint to the letter.

The series – starring NCIS’ Michael Weatherly as the titular Dr Jason Bull – is inspired by the early career of Dr Phil McGraw (the pyschologist who impressed Oprah Winfrey so much that he got his own talk show). Before becoming a TV host, McGraw co-founded a trial consulting firm which, to put it simply, applies human behavioural science in a courtroom setting.
